Madonna (full name Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone) is a popular singer, songwriter, producer, dancer, actress, director and script writer, known worldwide due to her innovative videos, grand stage shows and the use of political, sexual and religious images in her works. Her performances are full of sexual energy by which all are inspired. Madonna has tempted the whole planet. She is one of the brightest stars in the history of music. The secret of the popularity of a world legend is not only in her divine voice and inborn love for dancing, but also in her sensational ability of being different, varying due to the conditions of different generations. Madonna is the only star who thanks to her ambitions has made herself on her own. With her manners and behavior she has more impact than with her songs.
